DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 486 The Relationship between Vincent and the Huo Clan
Lucas bowed to Linda with respect and then left with his men.
Linda stood still and looked into the distance, watching their backs until they were out of sight.
'Derek, I've always tolerated your behaviour, and I've never punished you for all the wrong things you've done. But now you even dared to trick another company out of its money by taking advantage of the Mu's Group. How despicable! This time, I swear on my name that I will make you pay for it, ' Linda thought in silence.
They had finally succeeded in rescuing Lily Xie. She was safe for the time being.
But Lily Xie still kept sobbing. Linda felt sorry for her. She thought that someone as young as Lily shouldn't endure so much pain and torture. Linda immediately said to Lily Xie, "Lily, you must be hungry, right? Come on. Let's go inside the house and eat some food!" Lily Xie indeed felt hungry. She hadn't eaten anything for more than ten hours after she had been kidnapped yesterday. Her stomach rumbled with hunger, so she quickly nodded.
She felt safe while staying with Linda. At least, she would not be forced to have sex with whoever paid for it. She was very scared and frightened when she heard that the kidnappers would take her to a nightclub and let her work there.
She was still a student. Although she didn't do very well in her studies, she had hoped to live a normal life. If she was really sent to a nightclub to repay her father's debt by her tips from prostitution, her life would be destroyed.
"Poor girl." Donna took Lily Xie's hand, with a sad expression on her face. She felt ashamed of her brother who was good for nothing, but she couldn't do anything about it.
Living with Derek was no good for Lily Xie because he really wasn't a good father. This time, he even ran away with two million and left Lily Xie behind to deal with those people going after him. It was cruel of him to do such thing to Lily Xie, his biological daughter. Wasn't he worried that she could have been in danger?
"Mother, Lily should stay with you from now on. Don't let her live with Derek anymore. Her life would be ruined if she continues living with him. What do you think?"
"But is it appropriate to do that? Shouldn't we ask for Derek's permission first?"
"Why do we have to ask for his permission?" Linda laughed. She didn't intend to give Derek any chance this time. She had already decided to let him rot in prison for the rest of his life.
"No. He will not have the right to raise Lily. I will figure out a way to let you get custody of Lily, so you can live with and take care of her!"
After all, Donna was doing nothing while staying in the Xia clan's house. Linda had gotten married, so she could only spend a little time with Donna. Besides, Cindy, Donna's own daughter, also couldn't stay with her. It would be great if Lily Xie would keep her company. After all, Lily Xie was her niece and they would surely get along well with each other.
Donna was a sensible person, and she knew Linda's good intentions, so she nodded and said, "Okay!"
It wouldn't do any good to Lily Xie if she would keep on staying with Derek, the scum who she had to call father. It would have a bad impact on her life, especially when she was only a teenager.
Since such an unpleasant matter happened, Linda lost her appetite, so she just ate a little when they went back inside the house. Then, she said her goodbyes to Johnson, Donna, and Lily before returning to the Mu clan's villa.
Linda also told Lily Xie to stay at the Xia clan's house. The new semester would begin soon, and Lily Xie would have to go to school. Staying in the Xia clan's house would be good for her because she could focus on her studies. Even though Lily Xie didn't get excellent grades, it would not be difficult for her to find a good job and live a good life after graduation as long as she successfully finished her education.
On the way to the Mu clan's villa, when Charles noticed that Linda was in a bad mood, he immediately comforted her, "Honey, don't get angry with such a loathsome man. He has always been a scumbag like this, right?"
"I know he is that kind of person, but he is still my uncle. It's so unbelievable. He even ignored his own daughter's safety. Why do I have such a heartless uncle? I have let him off several times already, and you have also given him three hundred thousand before. How do you think he spent this sum of money? It's already more than enough to buy some good food."
Charles wore a affectionate smile on his handsome face after he heard Linda. He gently touched Linda's nose and said, "You are such a foodaholic!"
"Then? What do you think this sum of money was spent on?"
Linda pouted, feeling very furious. She hadn't seen Derek for a long time. Linda had planned to let him off if he didn't show his face in front of her anymore. She didn't intend to hold onto what he had done before. She hadn't even punished him for all of his previous misdeeds!
"This time, we should not let him off. Paul has started to investigate on him. I believe that we will find out about him soon. Then, we'll take him back no matter where he is hiding."
"But I'm afraid that we only have a small chance. We had once tried to locate Vincent, but he still couldn't be found."
"I really find it strange that we still haven't found Vincent. We do see he go to the jail to visit May. After that, he just disappeared. After checking the surveillance video, we found something interesting. The other day, he showed up again at an intersection where he had gotten into a car and then left. We had no idea where he went. However, after we did some digging into the plate number of that car, we found that the car belongs to the Huo clan."
"What does Vincent have to do with the Huo clan?"
Linda got confused after hearing what Charles had said.
"Oh right, there is one more thing that you might not know. Lisa is living in the Huo clan's house now."
Linda was not surprised at the news because she guessed that Lisa had no choice but to go to the Huo clan and stay there.
"Just let Lisa enjoy her happy life for now. I'm not in a rush to get back at her," said Linda.
She, then, leaned her head against Charles's chest. She felt very tired after going through such an experience with the whole kidnapping thing.
She was about to give birth very soon, so every move she would make would get her tired fast. Sometimes, she felt sleepy when she had just gotten up. Perhaps, her two babies were absorbing a lot of nutrients from her.
Charles gently took Linda's hand and stroked it continuously. Linda's hand was white and tender, fascinating Charles. However, Charles furrowed his eyebrows and said, "But you do know that Lisa has the same face as yours while she is living in the Huo clan's house, right?"
Linda turned her head and glanced at Charles. Judging from the expression on his face, Charles was jealous. Lisa and Linda had the same face because Lisa had changed her face through the plastic surgery. On top of that, Robert really liked Linda, so he was probably mistaking Lisa for Linda.
"I've heard that Lisa and Robert traveled to Maldives some time ago and stayed there for several months..."0000
